Time to clean out the basement for the Holidays

I love to pick up treasures at auctions, estate sales, flea markets, garage sales and the side of the street all year long, as I am sure you can all relate. The other day I was looking in my basement at the 5 Christmas tree stands, glass globes and vintage insulators that had made their way into my home over the past year and I decided to put them to use for the Holidays. I am thinking that the white tree stand needs a battery operated candle to liven it up a little. I will put that on my shopping list.

Check it out, too! http://www.junkmarketstyle.com/item/3319/an-elegant-junky-holiday. Thanks for sharing with us!

Happy day.
